Genocide Is Shameless

Through early morning bombs I see

The nightmare of the civilians who flee

the crimes that are so clear to  me

I realize and I can see...

that genocide is shameless

It brings on deathly changes

and we can’t take or leave it if we please.

We try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

And now we all know that it's already far too late, and...

The game of war is hardly play

Bomb dusted children now bleed out every day.

The humanitarian pause is useless now,

so this is all there is to say:

that genocide is shameless

It brings on deathly changes

and we can’t take or leave it if we please.

We try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

And now we all know that it's already far too late, 

The way the Rulers win is to cheat

flay down the children - victory complete.

The  moral army wades indiscrete

In rivers of blood, the task complete..

Oh genocide is shameless

It brings on deathly changes

and we can’t take or leave it if we please.

We try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

And now we all know that it's already far too late, 

The sword of crime will pierce their skins

It already hurts when it begins

And as it works its way on in

The pain grows stronger...while we watch Death grin.

and genocide is shameless

It brings on deathly changes

and we can’t take or leave it if we please.

We try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

And now we all know that it's already far too late, 

A brave man once requested me

to answer questions that are key

is it to be or not to be bombed

I replied ‘what can I do?’ for I am numbed.

'Cause genocide is shameless

it brings on deathly changes

and we can’t take it or leave it as we plea.

Ceasefire and stop the killing

From the river to the sea.

Government Announcement : "Move south to Sutton where it's safer!" 

Cab you imagine 2 million people, families, streets, wards and boroughs being bombed out of their homes in London?

Kindness is political IV : “Our compassion may be infinite, but our capacity to help people is not."

"Our compassion may be miniscule, but our capacity to help ourselves to taxation revenue to palm off on crony contracts to our mates is a constant thrill!"

Kindness is political. The choice to be kind, considerate and compassionate in the deliberation, design and implementation of policy is a political choice, The choice to be callous, indifferent or cruel is also a political choice.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_Relating_to_the_Status_of_Refugees#Rights_and_responsibilities_of_parties 
The 1951 Convention Relating to the Rights of Refugees, is an international treaty which was ratified by the Government of the UK, which was a choice to protect people, as an act of legal, political, economic and community kindness. It states the rights of Refugees and Asylum Seekers and the responsibilities of receiving countries.

https://www.unhcr.org/uk/asylum-in-the-uk.html - a brief report on Asylum in the United Kingdom.

The thread behind this latest scam is that this is yet another way to pass taxpayer cash to corporate cronies, signing opaque contracts with entities that are responsible for terrible provision of what ever 'service' is being provided,(Test & Trace, PPE is one current example of this kind of behaviour) effectively farming vulnerable people for profits, without no evidence that this action will have the effect of improving their lives, securing their safety and welfare.

In effect, this Government are taking over the business of trafficking vulnerable people. Competition in the 'free market'. And as it happens, this plan will not stop the illegal trafficking from France across the English Channel.

Trafficking preys upon vulnerable people.

As it happens the  UK's international ambassador for human rights Rita French in July 2021 expressed “regret” that Rwanda was not conducting “transparent, credible and independent investigations into allegations of human rights violations including deaths in custody and torture”. The claim that Rwanda is a safe place to send vulnerable people is baseless.

This misGovernment knows this. 

The Kafkaesque difficulty of Ukrainian Refugees seeking refuge in Britain.

Listening to the radio this morning, I heard one caller tell of a story of a heavily pregnant Ukrainian mother who was trying to make her way to the UK. She was told when applying for her visa to enter the UK from Poland, a slow and unfriendly process (hostile environment, a coalition policy) where she was now a refugee, was told that if her baby was born before she entered the UK, the baby would need his or her own visa as well, or not be allowed to enter the UK. 
The unfortunate woman was so distressed by the delays and obstruction she faced  that she decided to return to Ukraine. To a country being invaded and destroyed by a cruel and vile Russian Military commanded to do so by Mr. Vlad 'The Invader' Putin. A Russian Oligarch.

This pregnant mother-to-be decided the lack of compassion - the political choice - of the English Government was a worse option than returning home to a war torn country in the midst of a horrific, disgusting war which appears to be escalating.

This is just one story, among many, many thousands of heart-wrenching and traumatic cases. UK is the only country demanding visas for Ukrainian Refugees as a condition of entry. Every other state is allowing entry, with visa application to be made once the refugees are safe. 

Boris Johnson spoke to day, and this is what he said : “We cannot sustain a parallel illegal system. Our compassion may be infinite, but our capacity to help people is not."
Infinite Capacity to help people?

When it comes to 'sustaining a parallel illegal system', it is the precisely the deliberate closure of previously available safe and official routes for Asylum Seekers and Refugees to reach the UK that created the fertile ground for the 'parallel illegal system'.

When it comes to helping people the blatant corruption of the Governments Crony Contracts for PPE, Test and Trace, and other policy choices that minted thousands on new millionaires shows exactly where this Governments priorities really lie.
He, and Priti Patel are such promiscuous and unapologetic liars, they are bullies, they are wholly inadequate to the social responsibilities of the High Office they occupy, sponsored by Oligarchs whose interest the represent.

A Government of Wealth Extraction, sponsored by Oligarchs, imposing policy generated in think tanks funded by Oligarchs, cannot represent the democratic electorate of England. 
They do not represent us at all.

They do not represent the people of England, the vast majority of whom are decent, kind law abiding persons, who do, as it happens, appear to host an almost infinite compassion if one looks ate the totality of the community voluntary sector and support for charities helping the most vulnerable people of our communities.
Infinite Compassion?
"Let the bodies pile high!"
Eternal Peace after a horrific and terrifying death.
"1000 deaths a week is a valid cost benefit analysis!"
More like infinite greed.
Johnson was having an adulterous affair another woman, whilst his wife was enduring Cancer Treatment, betraying her and their children, behind her back while she was suffering.
Compassion? More like infinite, selfishness and grim lust.
"Some people say, that maybe, we should let it tip, let the people take it on the chin!"
Compassion? 
More like infinite disdain for the population.
COVID case reporting in the UK
Government figures on new cases Wednesday 13 April 35,926
ZOE symptom tracker new cases Wednesday 13 April 275,993
Deaths this past week : 651, and for the past week : 1,951
List of the dates of parties we know about, the dates of the lies Johnson uttered  and the deaths on those dark, dark days. People were being harmed by Government policy, and the policy makers partied! Compassion?

Compassion?



It is quite clearly callous cruelty, reckless endangerment.

Fight for the Right to Party - a Satire Song about Johnson

Rwanda, as a destination venue for the vulnerable seeking refuge and safety?

This new 'policy' regarding Refugees, Asylum Seekers and others choosing the desperate  and dangerous path towards the UK and safety, seeking freedom from brutality, oppression and war, via small dinghies slowly chugging across the English Channel is a disgusting dog whistle policy designed to take attention away from the immediate issue of the Tory Death Parties.
If Parliament passes this legislation, then it is complicit in the cruelty of this atrocity engendering 'policy'. 

This issue and any, many others are all linked together in that they form part of a totality of deliberate, calculated, misGovernment that rejects the path of avoiding avoidable harms.
Yet another example of the flaws of English Democracy highlighted in The Power Inquiry, 2006. An executive political  power that despises the people, exploits bigotry and bias and does so to enrich the Oligarchy that sponsors this Government.
When will the English people take the only action that can counter this horrendous, Machiavellian monstrous misGovernment?
A general strike, a refusal to pay mortgages, rents and utility bills until parliament is dissolved and a general election is held to put into place a Government by the people.
